Scientists team from the Institute for Advanced Studies in Natural Science In Princeton, New Jersey You may have found something new Dwarf Planetleading to more evidence of potentially theoretical superplanets.
Scientists announced in a news release that they have found a Transneptune Object (TNO) coded name 2017of201, coded as 2017of201, which passed through the ice-dead regions of the Kuplier belt.
TNO is described as a small planet orbiting the Sun at a longer distance than Neptune, and was discovered at the edge of our solar system.
There are many other TNOs in the solar system, but what makes the 2017of201 special is its large size and extreme trajectory.
NASA is looking for ways to destroy asteroids that can hit Earth.

One of the team’s leads, Sihao Cheng, made the discovery along with Princeton University’s Jiaxuan Li and Eritas Yang.
The team used advanced calculation methods to identify distinctive trajectory patterns of empty objects.
“The object’s apherion – the farthest point in orbit from the sun – is more than 1,600 times the Earth’s orbit,” Chen said in the release. “On the other hand, its modernity – the closest point in its orbit to the Sun – is 44.5 times the orbit of Earth, just like Pluto’s orbit.”
2017of201 took about 25,000 years to orbit the Sun, suggesting that Yang “has been forced into wide orbit, suggesting that he must have experienced a close encounter with a giant planet.”

Chen also added that the transition could have had multiple steps.
“This object may have been first ejected into the OORT cloud, the farthest region of the solar system, home to many comets,” Chen said.
This finding has important implications for our current understanding of layouts. External solar system.
According to NASACalifornia Institute of Technology (CALTECH) astronomers Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown published a study in January 2016 that provided evidence of a planet in the outer solar system about 1.5 times more planetary than Earth.
However, the existence of planet X or planet nine is strictly theoretical, as neither astronomer actually observes such planets.
“While advances in telescopes have allowed us to explore distant parts of the universe, there is still much to discover about our own solar system,” Chen said. (Distribution materials via Reuters/ESA/Hubble & NASA/Reuters)
The theory places planets roughly the same size As a NeptuneIt’s far past Pltune, somewhere near Kuiper Belt, where 2017 of201 was located.
It is theorized that, if it exists, the mass of the Earth’s mass is up to 30 times the distance between the Sun’s Neptune.
That will take place in time 10,000 and 20,000 Earth Years Create one perfect orbit around the sun.
However, the area beyond the Kuiper Belt where the objects are located was previously thought to be inherently empty, but the team’s findings suggest that this is not the case.

Cheng said in the release that 2017of201 is only visible about 1% of the orbit.
“nevertheless Advances in telescopes It allowed us to explore distant parts of the universe, but there is still much to discover about our own solar system,” Chen said.
NASA said that if Planet Nine exists it will help explain the unique orbits of some small objects in the far Kuiper Belt.
For now, everything else remains of Planet 9 except for theory, but the existence of this distant world depends on the gravity pattern of the outer solar system.
